To detractors, he’s a shameless liberal often concerned more with image than substance. Mention state Sen. Lloyd Doggett’s name to those who know him and you rarely get a lukewarm response; they either love him or hate him. He has been characterized as “Saint Lloyd” by one colleague and “so honest you could shoot craps over the phone with him” COUPON 50% OFF On All ‘In Lab’ Reprints and Enlargements C110 C126 C135 Cl 35 3V2 X 4 1 /2 3 1 /2 X 3 1 /2 3V2 x 5V4 4x6 all only -1 7 ea.

But to the state’s conservative business interests he is anath ema, a left-leaning Democrat whose filibusters in tennis shoes have been aimed as much at television cameras as at the leg islation he seeks to kill. By all accounts, the tall, thin Doggett has taken the biggest political gamble of his career by running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. John Tower. “It’s clear that from the be ginning of this race I was run ning as the decided underdog and I still am,” Doggett said during an interview at his Aus tin law office. “I had to convince a lot of people early on that it was a feasible, do-able thing. I wouldn’t have put 10 years of political life on the line if I didn’t think this race could be to areas away from his constitu ency in Travis and Hays coun ties. He also faces the problem of shedding his image as one of the state’s foremost liberal poli ticians. “I do avoid and rebut the won. Bv entering the contest, Dog gett has all but said goodbye to the secure state Senate seat he first won as a 26-year-old. He now faces the difficult task of expanding his political support quick label that sometimes is put on me,” Doggett, 37, says. ‘Tve never been a believer in flash- card politics, voting on some thing because it was the liberal or conservative thing to do.” Doggett’s first elected office was president of the University of Texas Students Association, a post held through the years by numerous Texas political lumi naries. As an undergraduate busi ness major he finished first in his class, then earned a degree from the UT School of Law. In 1973 he left a job as presi dent of the Texas Consumer Association to run for the state Senate.

But Rep. Ron Wilson, D- Houston, the caucus chairman, conceded during a news confer ence in Austin that it would be difficult for Jackson supporters to overcome the grass roots or ganization that Walter Mondale has in place. “We’re working real hard on the precinct caucuses, but it’s a very difficult process,” he said. “We’ve redoubled our efforts in trying to educate voters who be lieve they can still vote for Jesse when they walk into the voting booth.” Texas Democrats meet in precinct conventions May 5 to begin the process of selecting 200 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco. Of the 1 16 delegates at slake in the precinct caucuses, Wilson said, “We think we’ll get a de cent amount.” The remaining delegates will be named later. i Nelle Sutton, D-San Senfronia Thompson, >n; and Paul Ragsdale, Wilson said six of the 1 1 members of the Legislative Black Caucus affirmatively en dorsed Jackson’s candidacy: Reps. Reby Cary, D-Fort Worth; AI Edwards, ton; Aim D-Houstc D-Dallas. Wilson said he did not know who the other black lawmakers are supporting except for Craig Washington, D-Uouston. the only black member of the Texas Senate, whois supporting Colo rado Sen. Gary I Ian. Jackson made campaign slops Wednesday in San Anto nio, Waco and Dallas, and planned to be in Fort Worth and Houston on Thursday. Mondale was expected to arrive in Texas Wednesday night for stops Thursday in Fort Worth. San Antonio and El Paso. On Friday, he will be in Lubbock and Beaumont. Meanwhile, in the Senate race, Democrat Kent Hance told a news conference in San Antonio Wednesday that am nesty for illegal aliens would damage the quality of Texas ed ucation. Hance noted that his Demo cratic rivals. Boh Krueger and Lloyd Doggett, both support amnesty plans now before Con gress. “T his is a generous nation, committed to sharing its re sources with those most in need,” the Lubbock congress man said. “But amnesty would make it harder to provide a quality education to the least fortunate children in our so ciety.” On the Republican side the J79 I s Senate campaign,f ™ man Ron Paul fij Wednesday in slate court in Houston a prominent supponen ins opponents. 1 lie complaint said Washington, D.C.-bas mil tee f oi the Survivalul (.(mgress, which hesaidj ing Rep.
